The Autumn Artist Exchange is a three-week open residency happening at Ponderosa in Brandenburg, north of Berlin, from October 8–26, 2018.

This time of the Autumn Artist Exchange is offered as an opportunity for artistic work and research in a collaborative environment, together with other participants.
The Autumn Artist Exchange will be sharing space at Ponderosa with two other parallel residencies — Tipping Utopia and Garden as Stage.

“Ponderosa is an art centre, a community, and a place to gather and exchange. It is located in the German countryside, in the village of Stolzenhagen, around an hour on the train from Berlin, close to the border with Poland. Ponderosa is well-known for its P.O.R.C.H. summer school, the Ponderosa Tanzland Festival, the Ponderosa Artists-in-Residence program, and the Ponderosa kitchen and gardens.” – ponderosa-dance.de

foraus – Swiss Forum on Foreign Policy has developed Policy Kitchen, an original concept for addressing pressing global political issues in a participatory setting, based on the belief in the power of collective intelligence. The Policy Kitchen is a crowd-sourcing platform, which brings together experts with anyone who wants to participate, and fosters the co-creation of original solutions for change. During automn 2018, foraus focuses on Biodiversity, leading to seven “Policy Cooking Days” in Switzerland and abroad.

I counsel young dance artists (political context, management, touring) on a voluntary basis in order to pass on the knowledge earned over the years. My knowledge is mainly focused on the Swiss context but I’ll be happy to help further if I can.

Feel free to contact me (even if you are an established artist)! Finally, please note that the offered help is not meant to take someone’s job.

VJ Open Lab is a event dedicated to VJs, visual and video artists, creative coders and more, making for a vibrant place to meet and exchange among professionals, and with the audience.
